alright I'm going to boot up one of these #atprotocol graph indexers and start sampling the firehose. even doing that feels like an invasion of privacy but I gotta know what ya can do with that
Someone's made a backup index of #RARBG https://justtorrents.pw/ magnet links include many trackers still online and if that fails the DHT will probably stay populated for awhile. dear lord is #BitTorrent resilient.
fair warning: can't vouch for origin/honeypot/hash poisoning
emergence of search engines was because indexing systems based on ppls websites having links sections wasn't working. now that search engines are broken we're reverting back to ppl having websites of links again, except they're paywalled substacks. nice job everyone
@evan currently they are groups of people! but under the hood there is very little difference: I added a "list mode" parameter that explicitly switches between "account" and "status" mode so it's clearer which kind of list is which.
@evan the next step of the DIY algo part is to make a toolkit of algorithmic primitives so it's v easy to adjust various sliders and combine different derived metrics together. no ML black boxes, but the first things I want to try and do for myself are fixing timezone/sleep cycle mismatches as well as correcting post frequency mismatches yno
@evan I did a quick mod of the status compose interface the other day and saw how it works, and between that and this I think it would be pretty trivial to make a drop-down menu under post visibility that selects a list, and then uses either an ActivityStreams Collection of accounts in the To field, or abuses the "direct message" functionality and autopopulates the message with @'s. need higher char limits by default tho
@evan that's actually another thing I have been thinking about w.r.t. ways to hack on lists :) in this case I'm referring to HTTP POSTs not posts like toots. So the idea is you have some script you are running on your own that is streaming a timeline and computing some sorting algorithm on top of it, and then it POSTs an array of status IDs to a list, rather than autopopulating from accounts on a list. hence DIY Algorithms :)
It works!!!!!!!! An API Endpoint to post statuses directly into lists so people can make their own #DIYAlgorithms . Now some cleanup and a bit of UX stuff but i can't believe i actually wrote code in #Ruby i am proud of myself. :) #MastoDev
OK THE FEDIVERSE needs a #Recipe client/app, because #Recipes are some of the most broken things on the internet rn.
- tabular ingredients with explicit and gestural (a pinch) units - serving size with the ingredient quantity multiplier - open ended typed metadata fields for cooking/prep times, tools required, preheat temps, difficulty, cuisine type, dietary restrictions, etc. - steps with collapsible images - variations as "replies"
I am having that "just learning a language and just reading an extremely complex body of code but still being like motherfucker I could do this better" moment before being proven extremely wrong over and over for years until I figure out what the heck is going on with another layer deeper in programming hell
